Information for visitors arriving at CGMH
Visiting Hours
CGMH is committed to creating an environment that is supportive of patient and family centered care. We believe it is important for patients to experience the support of family and friends and to be treated as an individual with unique needs. We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for our patients and staff.
For the comfort and safety of our patients, please consider the following guidelines:
- Visiting hours are flexible to accommodate the patient circumstance; there are no "set" hours.
- Between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., visitors must enter through the emergency department entrance. The department will be notified to expect visitors arriving shortly on the unit by the emergency department Clerk or Charge Nurse. Visitors will be instructed to report directly to the nursing station of the inpatient unit.
- Overnight visiting must be prearranged with the patient's nurse and Charge Nurse. Consent must be obtained by the other
patient(s) sharing the room, prior to agreeing to have visitors stay overnight with a patient. Overnight visitors must respect the privacy and sleep requirements of all patients in the room. - Please respect patient privacy by knocking on the door before entering a patient room.
- Please do not enter rooms marked as isolation without first discussing the special care required with the patient care unit staff.
- Family and visitors who are unwell (fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) should not come to the hospital until they are feeling better.
- Children must always be supervised and are the responsibility of the visitor.
- Visiting hours may be restricted or cancelled in the event of an infection control outbreak, emergency situation or pandemic.
Please remember we are a latex-free (balloons), lily-free, scent-free and smoke-free facility.
